Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! - GAME OF THRONES 8x1-8x4 REACTION: https://youtu.be/iegYDIjofac - Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this final review and reaction, Tara and Andrew brace themselves for complete chaos as Daenerys Targaryen goes full Dark Phoenix, completely reshaping the landscape of Westeros forever. We unpack the massive emotional scale and stellar performances of this iconic ensemble cast, featuring Emilia Clarke (Solo: A Star Wars Story, Me Before You) delivering absolute terrifying intensity as the spiraling Mad Queen Daenerys, Kit Harington (Eternals, Pompeii) as the deeply conflicted true heir Jon Snow, and Peter Dinklage (Cyrano, Avengers: Infinity War) giving a masterful, heart-wrenching performance as Tyrion Lannister. We also react to the monumental final arcs for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister, Lena Headey as the cornered Queen Cersei, Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark, Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, and Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth. Our hosts react to every jaw-dropping highlight, brutal execution, and bittersweet farewell this massive two-part finale delivers. We break down the absolute dread of Varys being sentenced to dragon fire by a ruthlessly unhinged Daenerys, the jaw-dropping scale of the attack on King's Landing, and the pure horror of the dragon completely torching innocent civilians long after the city bells rang to surrender. We unpack the bloody, pride-fueled duel between Jaime Lannister and Euron Greyjoy, the hyper-violent poetry of the long-awaited Cleganebowl where the Hound and the Mountain fall together into the flames, and Cersei and Jaime's tragic "Romeo and Juliet" style demise beneath the rubble of the crumbling Red Keep. Finally, we break down the monumental throne room confrontation where Jon Snow delivers a shocking, devastating stab to his queen, Drogon completely melting down the Iron Throne before flying away with his mother, and the highly chaotic Small Council assembly where Tyrion hilariously fields a democratic vote before crowning Bran the Broken as King. We evaluate the incredible cinematic tracking shots, the massive storytelling logic leaps, and the pure emotional weight of the Starks' split endings—including Sansa becoming Queen of the North, Arya exploring uncharted maps, and Jon Snow finally giving Ghost a proper, long-overdue embrace before leading the wildlings back beyond the Wall! #GameOfThrones #GameOfThronesFinale #DaenerysTargaryen #JonSnow #TyrionLannister #CerseiLannister #Cleganebowl #IronThrone #Drogon #BranTheBroken #SansaStark #AryaStark #ReelRejects #TVReaction #WatchAlong #SeriesFinale #Westeros #dracarys Follow *Tara Erickson* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow *Andrew Gordon* https://www.youtube.com/@MovieSource https://www.instagram.com/agor711/?hl=en https://twitter.com/Agor7 0:00 Checking In! 1:12 Game of Thrones Episode 5 Reaction 35:10 HUEL 36:54 Game of Thrones Episode 6 Reaction 1:17:36 Game of Thrones Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990

The Hound may hate fire, but he ultimately hates the man who gave him that fear of fire even more

Varys was trying to poison Danny at the beginning, that’s why the little bird said “she won’t eat” and he said “we will try again later, greater risk greater reward” 😩 he was wrong for that but I understand

The Iron Throne was first forged with the dragonfire of Balerion the Black Dread And now, three hundred years later, Drogon (Balerion reborn, or so they say) now uses his fire to melt the throne for good
